Tropicalevo Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 There is a big twin hulled yacht (not sure when a yacht becomes a ship) anchored off Koh Tao Pun (small island next to Koh Som - NE of Samui). The yacht is called Asean Lady. One large hull and one smaller one. Looks like some kind of working vessel rather than a rich man's toy. It was also here a few days ago and then went to KPN for a couple of days. Came back this morning. Do any of you know what it is and what it is doing please?

jamesbrock Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 as far as super-yachts go, she certainly is fugly too! That being said, you could throw some good parties on her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASEAN LADY SINGAPOREAN CARRIER Never seen a yacht like this; amazing but also strange but it certainly has HUGE spaces on its 3 decks (and below). The Asean LADY IS owned by a Singaporean businessman (South Africa born), Brian Chang* who chairs shipyard Yantai Raffles in China whilst the interior has been designed by his wife Annie Chang. * http://www.forbes.co...Chang_6BQZ.html more: http://www.liveyacht...acht-asean-lady http://www.cruisersf...proa-44275.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Not the prettiest boat I've seen, makes me think of Steve Jobs' boat. But at least this one is seaworthy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Well, there is another little yacht moored off the island this morning. Here it is http://www.charterworld.com/news/78m-motor-yacht-titan-2010-abeking-rasmussen-germany Reportedly owned by Roman Abramovch. I cannot see him on the deck though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Abramovich Edited May 7, 2013 by Tropicalevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Well - he did not stop for long. Weighed anchor and heading NW. They probably only wanted to take some photos of my house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Perhaps testing out the waters early, for the annual Samui Regatta at the end of the month? http://samuiregatta.ning.com/ Can't imagine why anyone would want to take pictures of your house Tropo!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy - did you take your meds today? RA's yacht is not the type with sails. It's more like the type with helicopters! 3 or 4 decks high. The TITAN is 78.4 meters long, 12.4 meters wide and looked about 100 feet high. Crew of 19 and guests up to 14 - more like a small hotel than a yacht. It is one of the smaller ones that he owns apparently. Edited May 7, 2013 by Tropicalevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicalevo Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Jimmy - you could be correct. Titan is back. Lit up in big letters on each side. Rob, does this count in your 'famous people on Samui' list? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
